| Review I haven’t watched an episode that was this much fun since Fractured. To say this episode was superb is an understatement. I don’t think I’ve ever watched any episode of anything twice in a row, except here. A lot of shows try to add a few little references in so there’s re-watch value, but this was simply insane. It would be easy to harp on and on about them, but the list up top is more than enough. I had great fun watching it again simply for the references. A lot of them were subtle, whilst others were bust your gut funny. The plot of the episode isn’t half bad. The episode isn’t an out of this world stupid one, but nor one with a serious tone. It manages to find a nice balance, and actually does a pretty good job giving each of the Titans an equal amount of airtime. At first I thought we were heading for the tired After a mildly disappointing 3rd season, the 4th season opener gets off to one of the strongest starts possible. Simply an outstanding episode! |
